The Fortieth Day + Sshe Retina Stimulants on CD

With the "Syria: 638 AD" CD" about to arrive, we are hard at work creating a new master for the upcoming CD version (B!130) of the The Fortieth Day + Sshe Retina Stimulants collaboration. The CD will differ from the cassette version (B!075, Edition of 50, January 2007) in that a different live recording will be featured for the primary 30-minute track -- the radio broadcast version, not the in-studio MiniDisc recording -- making for a crisper, cleaner (yet still dense and heavy) sound that seems to better suit the CD format. Also, two additional short tracks, prepared by NG5361 from his post-processing sessions, but which were left off of the cassette due to time constraints, will be included on the CD. We are anticipating an August release for this CD...
